Frank Wolf Admits He Supports Trillions in Tax Hikes

Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) is one of only six Republican members of the U.S. House who has failed to sign the Taxpayer Protection Pledge to his constituents. In his remarks submitted to the Congressional Record today, Wolf confirmed that he supports the recommendations of President Obama’s Bowles-Simpson commission, a net tax increase of $1-3 trillion over ten years. According to Wolf’s statement:

“I have supported every serious effort to resolve this crisis: the Bowles-Simpson recommendations, the “Gang of Six” effort, and the “Cut, Cap and Balance” bill – including the Balanced Budget Amendment. None of these solutions were perfect, but they all took the steps necessary to rebuild and protect our economy.”
